Neptune is never "close" to Earth at all. All of the other planets are closer.
Neptune is the farthest major planet from the Sun, and in its orbit does not get any closer to the Sun than the other seven planets. Its distance from Earth depends on Earth's location in its own orbit, but is never any less than 4.3 billion kilometers, and never more than 4.7 billion kilometers. Neptune is 30 times farther from the Sun than Earth.

∙ 8y agoAt aphelion Neptune is 4540 million kilometres from the Sun. This is the furthest that Neptune gets from the Sun because that is what aphelion refers to.

Does earth experience overall cooling when at aphelion?
Yes because the Earth is farthest from the sun. The heat of the sun is not as close to the Earth as it was before.

How far does Neptune get to the sun?
I think the question means "how close" to the Sun. The nearest Neptune gets to the Sun is about 4,453 million kilometers. Its orbit is fairly close to being a circle, so the farthest it gets from the Sun isn't much different.
How close does Saturn get to the sun?
At its closest approach, Saturn comes to1.35 billion km (838851109.520 miles) to the sun.
When is the speed of a planet revolving around the sun the slowest?
When it is farthest from the Sun. This point is known as aphelion. *Aphelion = Furthest point from the Sun.
What is the effect on Neptune being so close to the sun?
Since neptune is so far away from the sun it is super cold (-210 degrees celcius!)
How much sunlight does Neptune need?
Not a lot, because it has ice caps and so Neptune is known for its ice. If it was close to the sun then no ice for Neptune. ~for you!
What is te distance from the sun for neptune?
Aphelion (Furthest) 4,553,946,490 km (2,829,691.160 miles) ~30.44 AU Perihelion (Nearest) 4,452%2,940,833 km (2,766,929,150 miles) ~29.766 AU
